Hi, friends Is anyone here using version 7.2 PHP on Prestashop 1.6.1.24? For some reason I needed to upgrade my PHP version from 7.1 to 7.2 and there was no problem although I know this version of PrestaShop supports PHP version 7.1. Do you think this will be a problem for my store later?

Hello everyone, I am writing in this forum because I am quite desperate because the website has been offline for a few days due to something I do not know how to solve ... I try to retrace the steps ... a few days ago I realized that the back office and front office of my website was offline ... after promptly contacting my hosting provider's assistant I discovered that the reason why my website was not working was because it was not compatible with newer versions of PHP (7.3+). When they first announced that they will be discontinuing older PHP versions, they stated that we will give by the end of 2021 for customers to make their websites compatible with newer PHP versions. they gave more than enough time for all pending updates to be handled, exactly due to the fact that once the time comes for older PHP versions to be removed, this change cannot be reverted or postponed. PHP versions, which are older than 7.3 are no longer available on our servers. They suggested to me, In order to be able to make my Prestashop 1.6.1.13 website compatible with newer PHP versions, I would need to update its core and components. and they said that the oldest Prestashop version that supports PHP 7.3 is 1.7.7. The Prestashop version 1.7.8 supports PHP 7.4. Now the problems...I tried to upgrade my prestashop to the latest version 1.7.8.5 and after several attempts I was able to update and log in, but after checking if all the products and all the orders were present, after some operations in the back office it is the blank page returned and the site went offline ...and I recieved different rorroes about php...I think that something is corrupted o non compatible... and after activating now I ask you ... is it possible to do a new clean installation on the same domain as the latest version of prestashop renaming old folder installation and then import the old data (images, orders, customers, products and all settings)? I hope that some of you experts can help me because I don't know what to do anymore ... thanks in advance to anyone who can give me some tips and help me solve this problem. Excuse me if I have dwelt too much

Hi, Recently my hosting provider has added the new version of PHP 7.0. I tried it. So, here are my feedback (can be individual in your case). Performance: The site began to work better in form of speed. A bit faster response. Faster back office performance, product saving, etc. Problems: Started to get error 500 in the back office. This happens only when saving some preferences/admin. But everything works fine in products or categories. Has anyone else tried PHP 7.0 ?

Hi guys I just tried several times to install ps 1.7.4.x on my server. It started everytime and aborted after a few clicks (after licence accept). I found out, my PHP version is to low. I've only 7.1.1, but 7.2 is required. So for other users, it would be nice, if you check the PHP version in the install/index.php Probably do it like that: $phpversion = explode('.', phpversion()); if ($phpversion[0] > 7 || ($phpversion[0] == 7 && $phpversion[1] < 2)) { echo 'php version 7.2 reqired'; exit; } Would be nice! It saves hours! Thank you.

Actualicé la versión de PHP en mi servidor y la tienda de prestashop dejó de servir, tuve que regresar a la versión 5.3 de PHP para que la tienda volviera a funcionar por lo quisiera saber si ¿hay manera de hacer que la versión de prestashop 1.6.0.6 funcione con PHP 5.6?, ya que en el servidor tengo otros proyectos que necesitan una versión más avanzada de php. ¿Alguien sabe si hay manera de hacerlo o ya prestashop se queda atras con las versiones de php? Pregunto porque veo que la última versión de ps (1.7) corre con PHP 5.4 por lo que creo que aún si actualizara la versión de prestashop me daría lo mismo

Hi there, I've been having this issue after moving my Prestashop from one host to another. I couldn't log in to the backoffice even though the password was correct (if it wasnt, I'd get a different error). It simply refreshed the page but didn't get me in to the backoffice. I've seen many people with this problem while Googling. I tried all solutions: - Clear cache - Clear cookies - Change cookie settings in DB - Try different browsers - Create new admin user through DB - Change admin password through DB - etc. etc. Nothing worked. However, changing the PHP version of my webhost solved it. I've never seen this suggestion in any other topic, so I figured it might help some people in the future struggling with this issue. I had this issue on Prestashop 1.5.5.0. My PHP version was at 7.0 for my other websites. Changing it to 'native' worked. 5.6 broke it again, 5.5 solved it again. Try changing your PHP settings to see if this makes any difference for you. Good luck!

Hello everyone, I am trying, as suggested by the 1-click upgrade module, to change the php version to anything newer than 5.4 from 5.3.8 Every single time I try it, I get 500 error, which resolves after reverting back to 5.3.8 Somebody wrote that he resolved it by removing php.ini and .htaccess from the /public_html folder and by regenerating .htaccess fom the backoffice. Problem is, if I upgrade the php version, both front and backoffice fail with error 500 (not possible to regenerate .htaccess or to clear caches), and I have no php.ini in the /public_html folder. I haven´t been able to find any clear answer to this problem that I can apply and it quite surprises me that being such necessary change there are no clear instructions to achieve it. Any suggestions or could somebody point me in the right direction? Many thanks in advance. Kindest Regards, Al PS 1.6.0.14 thinking on upgrading to 1.6.1.0 and fearing an old php version will break it all apart.
